These represent minimum requirements. If the student is more advanced, then repertoire, technique and sight reading will be adjusted to the appropriate level, and the technique of accompanying may also be introduced.
The student will receive one hour per week of private instruction for 12 weeks.
Grades will be allotted by the instructor on the basis of weekly progress in the various aspects of the course, and on performance level exhibited over the course of the semester. The instructor and student will discuss the student's progress and performance level at regular intervals (minimum three times) during the semester, so that the student is aware of his/her current standing and what is expected. No single evaluation will be worth more than 40% of the final grade (please see Douglas College's evaluation policy). The following is a sample grade breakdown:
| 25% | Technical progress |
| 25% | Musicianship progress |
| 30% | Technical and musical performance level |
| 20% | Attitude and effort |
| 100% | Total |
Up to 10% of the total mark will be deducted for unfulfilled participation. The following explains the grading calculation:
The successful student will be able to interpret and perform keyboard repertoire, demonstrate technical requirements, and sight read at an appropriate level, as outlined in the Course Content.
Study material will be selected by the instructor.
